Arnab Nandi commented on PIG-928:
---------------------------------
> register 'test.py' lang python;
How does one define an arbitrary "lang"? e.g. I would like to introduce Scala
as a UDF engine, preferably as a jar itself. i.e. something like:
register scalascript.jar;
register 'test.py' USING scala.Engine();
> UDFs in scripting languages

> It should be possible to write UDFs in scripting languages such as python,
> ruby, etc. This frees users from needing to compile Java, generate a jar,
> etc. It also opens Pig to programmers who prefer scripting languages over
> Java.
